Companies are putting a hold on any investments. The US government with one hand says the tariffs are permanent, and then says thy are up for negotiation. Meanwhile, to establish a new car factory takes 7 years.
In the case of JLR, they have 3 months of inventory inside of the US.. 400,000 Americans love them, and buy them. And even with a price rise, hundreds of thousands will continue to buy them. They've not pulled out of the US market, just reconsidering how they will be sold, liely moving ore to ordering on demand, rather than tying up so much inventory. Its highly likely the tariffs will be dopped. The supply chain is complex, with some of the cars originating in the UK, others in the EU. The suspension will cause slow downs and stoppages among JLR's US supply chain (Americans will lose their jobs), and will likely impact Waymo.
You muppets don't understand how these tariffs will be applied, given the variation in rates that also apply to spare parts and assemblies. Its not just 10% added to a Range Rover. But it might be 20% added to the windshield. 0%. If you are looking at the I-Pace, the battery is zero rated because its American. etc
The Range Rover has no serious US branded competitor. American SUVs like Suburbans are truely POS; its competing against other imports and that transplant import. Seppo luxury cars are generally vile things designed for old people with bad hips. The Vice President's Indian wife is probably disappointed.
My Jaguar XJ8 has been impeccible in its service with me, as was the XJS I had previously. It depends on the competance of the technicians who look after it. Your brother was probably an idiot who brought a lemon and then paid Cleetus the pool boy to service it.
French wine also on hold, because the 47th President wants French wine to be made in the US

No Infiniti QX50 for the Gringos. They'll whine like babies over that.

You could consider solar lights. I have them on my perimeter wall and they last till 3-4am continuous on. If you put them on movement sensor they last forever.
175 baht on Lazada or Shopee
Well Obergruppenführer Anutin, guess that is convenient for the CCP... kick it into the long grass and the news cycle will move on, then your overlords will be happy in Beijing, as no-one will care as you can easily sweep it under the carpet having received many brown envelopes to do the bidding of Sauron.
